ESR THEME SECTION
Range-wide status and conservation of the Goliath grouper
This THEME SECTION of ESR focuses on the Range-wide status of the Goliath grouper. The goliath grouper Epinephelus itajara is one of the world’s largest and longest lived epinephalids. Heavily targeted by artisanal and recreational fisheries throughout its broad distributional range, the global declines in abundance and extirpation of goliath grouper spawning aggregations are of growing concern. Innovative research and management approaches coupled with international collaborative efforts are needed to address this pressing conservation problem. This ESR THEME SECTION was catalyzed by a
Symposium at the 60th Annual Conference of the Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute.
As for all current ESR articles, we are pleased to make the online version of this ESR THEME SECTION available with Open Access
